Custom Fireplace Glass Doors for Fireplace Remodel Project - Project #21012

Customer Comments: I found your website and we are in the process of remodeling our fireplace to stacked stone all the way up the wall and adding a mantle. We want to replace the fireplace doors at the same time. I only have pictures of what it looks like now before the remodel. Can you work with this?

Our Comments: Before I get too far, we need to determine how the fireplace opening will be treated. As of your current plans, I believe more of the black metal above the fireplace needs to be left exposed so the door frame is more proportional. Option #1 shows how the door will look with your current plans. Option #2 shows how I propose the stone should be applied to allow the top frame of the door to be more proportional.

Fireplace Opening: TBD

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.

Glass Options

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.

Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
